Rights Respecting School Award

UNICEF is the world’s leading organisation working for children and their rights, collaborating with schools in the UK.

UNICEF creates safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured, and they are able to thrive. The Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) embeds these values in daily school life and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives.

This award is granted to schools that show commitment to promoting and realising children’s rights and encouraging adults, children and young people to respect the rights of others in school.

At Charles Darwin Primary we work very hard to support our pupils to understand, appreciate and uphold their own rights and that of other children, through discussions, assemblies, campaigns and a range of activities.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is at the heart of all that we do at Charles Darwin Primary, and we are proud to be a school that adopt these values and promotes them within our school community. Together young people and the school community learn about children’s rights, putting them into practice every day.

Inspiration Pathway

As a named feeder school for Jane Austen College, our pupils will have priority for admission when compared to non-feeder schools.

As part of Inspiration Trust we are able to benefit from a curriculum that is designed and shaped by subject-specialist curriculum leaders, both centrally by the Trust and independently by curriculum leaders in our school.

Through continuing study at an Inspiration Trust school you will be ensuring that your child has access to high-quality teachers, great pastoral support and aiding in making the transition from primary to secondary school (and beyond) a smoother process as they will have access a curriculum that has been designed to build on what has already been learnt at Charles Darwin Primary.

We are partnered with Jane Austen College, a secondary school that is also part of Inspiration Trust. The school specialises in the Arts and Humanities, which also extends to their sixth form. The Academy has a wide curriculum combined with exciting extracurricular electives. They also offer a range of enrichment activities available after school hours. If you need any other further information, please refer to the Jane Austen College website, contact the school directly, or pick up a copy of their prospectus.
